A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
1884
Georges-Pierre Seurat is remembered as the father of Pointillism, though he was also an immensely talented Realist and Impressionist. Actually and apocryphally, I prefer his Realism and Impressionism. I don't know why, but Pointillism as a whole never appealed to me. I can appreciate works made in that dot-dot mode, but somehow I also feel this terrible sterility flow out of that imagery. What do you feel?
